Pass the Pigs
Pass the Pigs is one of the fun dice games for kids, math games for kids and memory games.
2 or more players
Ages: 8 and up
Need 1 die
Begin with each player rolling the die. The lowest number begins. If a tie, players roll again.
Pick a score, 100 is good, and the player who reaches 100 first is the winner.
Kids should have pretty good math skills and be able to add (and remember) his score in his head.
If kids don't seem to be able to do that, paper and pencil can be used.
The first player goes and rolls the die as often as he wants. After each roll, he adds the number and keeps a total.
When he's done rolling, the next player goes. However, if the player rolls a 1, his turn is over and his score goes back to 0.
Knowing when to stop and not being greedy is important in this game!
Each player can try and roll until his total adds up to more than the previous player's total.
But there's always the chance of rolling a 1 and going back to 0!
The first player to reach 100 points wins.
If you don't have a long time to play, you can play up to 50 or 75 points.
For a more challenging game, you can also up the total points needed to win to 150 or 200.
